I am elated to receive IITRHF Excellence Award and thank the Heritage Foundation for providing such a booster. The award has not only kept me driven to give my best, but has also served as a liaison between students and alumni. I am also motivated to serve as a donor or to extend any possible help after my graduation as an alumni of IIT Roorkee.

Thank you so much for selecting me for the prestigious annual excellence awards. It goes a long way to show that only academic excellence is not enough and that one should also pursue extracurricular excellence. I am very much grateful for receiving this award this year and will continue to keep up my good work.

More than 1000 papers were presented as contributed papers and keynote papers, to be delivered by leading experts from academia and industry, through which I had gained a lot of practical knowledge and current research orientation. Many world class organizations had participated in this conference and were sponsored by internationally renowned companies.

Presenting my paper at this conference has given me a unique opportunity to interact with the co-researchers from different parts of the world working in this area. The technical inputs and/or suggestions that I have received during the oral presentation and discussions with authoritative personalities are of great help for my research work.

The visit is very fruitful in terms of useful interactions, exposure to recent innovations, ideas and developments, and formulation of new problems for further investigations.

I cordially thank the IIT Roorkee Heritage Foundation for assessing my possibilities of attending this International Conference and encouraging my hopes of doing so, I am indeed greatly indebted for the service rendered. Thank you once again.

I am grateful to IITRHF for providing me a financial assistance to attend the ICINC-2010 “International Conference on Intelligent Network and Computing-2010” was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in November 26 to 28, 2010. I appreciate this support from the bottom of my heart and will be indebted to IITRHF.

I have benefited from attending this renowned conference and from the interactions with the other authors. By presenting my paper in the conference I got feedback from other authors and pioneer researchers regarding my present work and this boost up my motivation and enable me to do further research. I was fortunate enough to attend the conference only due to the support of IITRHF. This organization is doing a great favor to the students of IITR by providing financial assistance and motivating students to pursue good research and representing it at the global scenario.

I would like to appreciate IITHF for providing travel grant for the students who are not able to receive grant from other funding agencies like DST, CSIR etc.

I would sincerely like to thank the IIT R heritage fund for providing me with financial assistance to attend my first ever IEEE international conference held in San Francisco, USA. The process of applying and getting the grant is very easy compared to any other organizations providing funds. There is no paper work and the club members Manoj Sir, Aditya Sir, Harish Sir and Arun Sir are so helpful and provide assistance in every step. It was my pleasure to interact with the members and they also offered to help me while I was in US. I request that more alumni come forward to contribute for this organization so that it can help students like me to achieve the dream of attending conferences in other nations.

Excellence awards are a terrific initiative taken up by IITR Heritage Foundation, it really encourages students to continue putting in efforts in academics as well as other multi-spherical fields while in college. The award also provides a feeling of recognition of the hard work of students. Cheers!

I am deeply obliged to IITRHF for the financial help they have extended to me to attend my first conference ICCEA,2012 at Hong Kong. It was a great experience and this conference certainly proved to be a good opportunity to meet and reciprocate with the co-researchers of my field. The interactive session after my oral presentation have given me an insight to proceed further with my research work more confidently. I am glad to tell you that some experts have shown interest in my work and are willing to work with me in near future.

I again would like to thank all the members of IITRHF for their support.

It was my great pleasure to receive financial assistance from IITRHF and I am highly thankful for this. This grant is of great advantage to students who are not able to get funding from agencies like DST, CSIR etc.

The conference provided me a platform for the exchange of ideas and in depth discussions on the topics of High Tc superconductor, ferroelectric, composites, liquid crystals, multiferroics, ceramic materials, Hetrostructure, High K dielectrics, etc.

I personally believe IITRHF is a great initiative by our Alumni and it has been contributing and investing in the development of people and institute in general. I got a chance to be part of the Cisco International Internship Program for a period of 1 year (2014-15) thanks to IITRHF for their active role as a mediator between industry and institute and helping all the interns all the way in any need during their stay in USA. I really appreciate their efforts and motto.

I thank the IITR Heritage Foundation for this prestigious award, and for recognizing my curricular and co-curricular achievements. Awards like these help me strive for bigger goals and achieve more. It’s heartwarming to see a growing alumni base giving back to their alma mater. I hope IITRHF continues the good work and conducts more such events in the future.

I am a proud Roorkee Alumni and always shared a close bond with my batch mates and seniors. I always cherished the good times in college and remember that my colleagues had always been there for me. On this IITR Heritage platform, I would like to share a little anecdote. Recent times have been rough. Especially in California, as the economy tanked, I lost my job along with many other people. I used to live in a small town called Ventura. To find a job I had to pack my bags and move out. As I went from one place to another (Los Angeles, Irvine and then Bay Area) interviewing for different companies, my friends from Roorkee took care of me. They let me stay with them and I always felt at home. Time went by and I still did not have a job. Companies willing to hire me would later come back with a rejection as more and more projects got canceled. Throughout this time, my Roorkee family was supporting me. Everybody chipped in with whatever they could do. From contacting lawyers to calling contacts in the IT industry, from job recruiters to contacts in the Oil industry; they tried everything. Just before time ran out, through phone calls and multiple emails that everybody sent, I finally found an opportunity that matched my interests.
Sitting on the bench without a job is a very tough experience, and I could only make it through with everybody's help and support.

I feel it is my responsibility to support my fellow Roorkeeites in whatever way I can and hope you feel the same way.

I am sincerely hoping that the above few lines will inspire you to chip in, to do your bit, and to take some action. Our ties go way beyond just get-togethers and tea-samosas. We are there for each other

I consider myself very fortunate to be part of Cisco International Internship Program (CIIP). The program is well designed to meet both cultural and professional aspects of an internship. I made excellent friends and have a better perspective on how things work in Industries. The work culture in Cisco San Jose is great and I have learned a lot during my 12 months there .I have evolved as a person and an engineer. I'd recommend anybody to take this opportunity and make the most of it.Thank you IITRHF for a life changing experience.

I have a couple of good news to share with you.Firstly, after my paper presentation in Spain I got another chance to present another paper in Dubai in January, 2011. Then, I got selected as Kairos Global Fellow 2011 by Kairos Society USA (founded by Ankur Jain, son of Mr. Naveen Jain, Founder & CEO Intellius)and also as member of the 13 member Indian Delegation representing India during Kairos Global Summit 2011. My business model on incentivising BPL families of India in order to facilitate universal access to primary education, was selected as one of the top 50 most innovative start-ups to be unveiled at New York Stock Exchange during Kairos Global Summit 2011 (Feb25-26).So, I was in New York for the past one week.It was a great experience.Besides, I have also been selected by Stanford Graduate School of Business for the Summer Institute of General Management2011 programme.So, I am very excited about the same.

Sir, everything has been possible because of support and blessings of personalities like Harish Sir, Arun Sir, Sinvhal Sir & Manoj Goel Sir.The Spain conference will remain the most special thing in my life and it was possible because of IIT Roorkee Heritage Foundation.

I am writing to thank IIT-R Heritage Foundation for their generous support. I'm very happy and appreciative that I was selected as the recipient of travel funding, which materialized my dream of presenting my research paper at IEEE conference in Korea. This scholarship gave the initial thrust for presenting paper in an international conference.
